Advanced matching algorithms (fuzz factor ...) are used by the patch 
program. I wonder why my updates should not fit in this case.

Do you know any other recommended tools to perform special consistency 
checks on my side before I submit patches from the tool that I trusted 
so far?
I do not see from the example reject file which lines were considered as 
unclean and were the reason for the unexpected rejection. Can I convince 
the patch program to accept the "suspicious" lines in a second run?

I do not expect such a mismatch from the current TortoiseSVN software. 
The generated patch file contains appropriate revision informations. Do 
I overlook anything from my viewpoint?
